I think bug #18725 (Say "no" to "erase customizations?". .emacs gets written.) is a candidate for a major problem. Basically, in certain customize-... functions, .emacs gets saved despite the user explicitly saying "no". This is really bad, and I think it should be fixed for emacs-24. I have proposed a patch to the code under the bug report. May I apply it? > In fact I would really appreciate it if people do not commit anything to > emacs-24 after 0000 UTC on Friday. -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany).
